Look Alikes is a wonderful way to teach children the delightful differences between humans and the wildlife that share our planet. Through rhyme, they are able to appreciate the beauty and uniqueness that exists with every species. It is a fantastic way to introduce children to the early stages of comparison, a common curriculum element taught in Australian schools. Adrienne T. O'Connell, B.A., Grad. Dip. Ed., taught children from indigenous classrooms in the outback to multicultural classrooms in the city.; Toddlers love rhyming books and they love a giggle! This clever rhyming book with a surprise at each page turning will produce lots of giggles, as well as a reminder that we are all different and yet, intrinsically, the same. The invitation to Look in the mirror gives every reader their own unique image to end the story. There is potential for extending the story with mask making and role play. Maureen O'Shea, Young People's Services Librarian, Noosa Library Service; Great concept and I love the simplicity of the illustrations and the message. The animal comparisons add a delightful sense of humour and the subtle change of skin colour for the key character emphasises how inconsequential this should be. Kerry Griffith, Children's Librarian, Moreton Bay Region; Look Alikes by J.R.Poulter engages the toddler with a question at the end of each page. It's clever input of a range of animals allows the toddler to differentiate between animals as well as liken themselves to each animal. With J.R.Poulter's use of rhyme and Barb Dragony's bright, simply styled illustrations, toddlers will delight in learning 'same and different' through Look Alikes.
